Progressions: PRACTICING Fig. 1    Simple Chord Progression As notated above in Fig. 1, each slash represents a strum. Therefore, you would strum each chord four times before moving on to the next chord. When you practice this remember to practice while doing the following: Start out very, very slowly. Always use a metronome. Have it click twice as fast as you are going (twice as fast as you are able to change chords)[Each measure: "One and Two and Three and Four and"]. If you are unable to change chords as fast as your metronome's slowest speed, have the metronome click four times as fast as you are going [Each measure: "One e and uh Two e and uh Three e and uh Four e and uh"]. Count out loud. Each measure: "One and Two and Three and Four and." Or, if the metronome is clicking four times as fast, "One e and uh Two e and uh Three e and uh Four e and uh." Tap your foot on the 'down beats' (i.e. on those beats where you say a number, not 'and' or 'uh'). Switch off by sometimes saying the chord names each time you strum.
